The people were very friendly, and helpful, and it’s not a bad room for the money.

The location for my purposes was great as it is close to the capitol center. The room was suitable and in line with cost. Gathering area for breakfast that is large and inviting. Staff responsive.

We stayed here the day before my surgery at Albany Memorial. The room was clean, it was warm. The towels were what we expected. The bed for comfy. If I wanted luxury I would have stayed somewhere else. We wanted an inexpensive, close hotel for the night. We got exactly what we expected, even a little more.

The price was exceptional. Cheapest around and a decent night sleep on a comfy bed and clean envirement. Small room though but typical for the style of construction at the time.In general it was all very good and would stay again.

“Convenient location. Clean room. Comfortable beds. Big bathroom and the size of the shower. Also, still had HOT water after 3 long showers!”

“The room was fine. From some of the other reviews I was afraid of what I would find when I got to the property, but there was nothing to worry about. The room was clean, large and although not 4 stars, it was comfortable and I did not detect an odor of smoke. It was easy on and off the ramp and 3 minutes by car to downtown. Check in and Check out were a breeze, no complaints. I would stay here again if I had occasion to go to another show in Albany.”

100% Verified Reviews

To keep the rating score and review content relevant for your upcoming trip, we archive reviews older than 24 months.

Only a customer who has booked through Booking.com and stayed at the property in question can write a review. This allows us to verify that our reviews come from real guests like you. Who better to tell others about the free breakfast, friendly staff, or their comfortable room than someone who’s stayed at the property?

We want you to share your story, with both the good and the not-so-good. All we ask is that you follow a few simple guidelines.

Reviews Vision

We believe review contributions and property responses will highlight a wide range of opinions and experiences, which is critical in helping guests make informed decisions about where to stay.

Reviews Principles

Contributions to Booking.com are a reflection of the dedication of our guests and properties, so we treat them with the utmost respect.

Whether negative or positive, we'll post every comment in full, as quickly as possible, after it's moderated to comply with Booking.com guidelines. We'll also provide transparency over the status of submitted content.

After a review has been submitted, you can modify it by contacting Booking.com customer service.

We'll use the same guidelines and standards for all user-generated content, and for the property responses to that content.

We'll allow the contributions to speak for themselves, and we won’t be the judge of reality. Booking.com’s role is to be a feedback distributor for both guests and properties.

Guidelines and Standards for Reviews

These guidelines and standards aim to keep the content on Booking.com relevant and family-friendly, without limiting expression or strong opinions. They're also applicable regardless of the comment's tone.

Contributions should be travel related. The most helpful contributions are detailed and help others make better decisions. Please don’t include personal, political, ethical, or religious commentary. Promotional content will be removed and issues concerning Booking.com’s services should be routed to our Customer Service or Accommodation Service teams.

Contributions should be appropriate for a global audience. Please avoid using profanity or attempts to approximate profanity with creative spelling, in any language. Comments and media that include hate speech, discriminatory remarks, threats, sexually explicit remarks, violence, or the promotion of illegal activity are not permitted.

All content should be genuine and unique to the guest. Reviews are most valuable when they are original and unbiased. Your contribution should be yours. Booking.com property partners should not post on behalf of guests or offer incentives in exchange for reviews. Attempts to bring down the rating of a competitor by submitting a negative review will not be tolerated.

Respect the privacy of others. Booking.com will make an effort to obscure email addresses, telephone numbers, website addresses, social media accounts, and other similar details.

The opinions expressed in contributions are those of Booking.com customers and properties, and not of Booking.com. Booking.com does not accept responsibility or liability for any reviews or responses. Booking.com is a distributor (without any obligation to verify) and not a publisher of these comments and responses.

By default, reviews are sorted based on the date of the review and on additional criteria to display the most relevant reviews, including but not limited to: your language, reviews with text, and non-anonymous reviews. Additional sorting options might be available (by type of traveler, by score, etc...).

눉I don’t know why they have a restaurant listed in there description, they don’t have one. It’s kinda off the beaten path, as far as places to eat close by. And the lamps beside the beds could use a good dusting.

눇The people were very friendly, and helpful, and it’s not a bad room for the money.

눉The lights were mostly off in the lobby and I had to be buzzed in. The clerk didn't smile, and his greeting was tired. I think I woke him up when I came in. The sink and bathroom floor were not very clean around the edges. The bed was old and tired, but so was I. It was OK. The pillows were large bulky firm foam, not my preferred pillow type, but I slept well.

눇I like that there was a place to sleep at 12:30 AM. I wasn't expecting too much. It was OK, convenient to downtown Albany. The shower and linens were clean, there was soap and a mirror.

눉My only complaint was our cab driver told us that we picked one of the worst hotels to stay at.he then told us it was where all the drug dealers went to sell their drugs.we didn’t see any of these happening.however while we were in the room someone was smoking marijuana outside of the room.the smell filled our room instantly.

눇The room was very clean and comfortable and the staff were very helpful and friendly.
